NeXus is a joint effort of both the synchrotron and neutron scattering community to develop a common data exchange format based on HDF. In order to simplify access to NeXus files a NeXus-API is provided. This NeXus-API has been restructured and expanded to cover both HDF versions 4 and 5. Only small changes to the API were necessary in order to accomplish this. A foundation was laid to extend t...

The water-energy-food nexus (“nexus”) is promoted as an approach to look at the linkages between water, energy and food. The articles of Water’s Special Issue “Water-Energy-Food Nexus in Large Asian River Basins” look at the applicability of the nexus approach in different regions and rivers basins in Asia. The articles provide practical examples of the various roles and importance of water-ene...

‎‎In this paper‎, ‎we define fuzzy subnexuses over a nexus $N$‎. ‎Define and study the notions of the prime fuzzy subnexuses and the fractions‎‎induced by them‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎we show that if S is a meet‎‎closed subset of the set Fsub(N), ‎of fuzzy subnexuses of a nexus N‎, ‎and‎‎h= ⋀S ϵ S, ‎then the fractions S^-1 N and h^-1 N are isomorphic as meet-semilattices‎.

Energy, water, and food are facing present and future challenges triggered by climate change, population growth, human behavior, and economics. Management strategies for energy, water, and food are possible through policies, technology, and related education. However, the links between resources (energy, water, and food) and impacting factors (population increase, human behavior, economics, and...

Understanding the food-energy-water nexus is necessary to identify risks and inform strategies for nexus governance to support resilient, secure, and sustainable societies. To manage risks and realize efficiencies, we must understand not only how these systems are physically connected but also how they are institutionally linked. It is important to understand how actors who make planning, manag...

The goal of the Nexus Event Service is to detect state change in services including the distributed Nexus Location Service. So far only state change on an isolated location service node can be detected. This work presents a model for distributed observation of events tailored to Nexus. With this model state change in a distributed set of location service nodes can be detected.

Although originally designed by and for the use of the Neutron and X-ray communities, the flexibility of the NeXus data format makes it equally suitable for storing data gathered from µSR experiments. Furthermore, its use should open up the possibility of sharing software beyond the immediate muon community; giving access to the many tools that are already in existence for manipulating NeXus an...

An explanation and quantification of the water-energy-food nexus (WEF-Nexus) is important to advance our understanding of regional resource management, which is presently in its infant stage. Evaluation of the current states, interconnections, and trends of WEF-Nexus, in cities, has largely been ignored due to quantification hurdles and the lack of available data. Based on the interaction of WE...
